With quick cyclic switching between different color tones, an illusion for a new intermediate color tone is created. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys playing single-player titles and wants to up the level of immersion by opting for an ultrawide panel with excellent colors, the AOC CU34G2 is not a bad option by any means. It’s also a fact that you don’t miss out on them anyway since your dedicated set or cans will most definitely sound better in games.

If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

You can control the intensity of it by adjusting the MBR slider, or you can set Overdrive to 'Boost'.Like at higher refresh rates, the recommended overdrive setting is still 'Medium', so you won't need to change the setting if the frame rate of your game drops. The huge VA panel in curved design with a screen diagonal of 86 cm (34 inches) produces particularly intense black values and ensures a brilliant and sharp image with a high contrast ratio of enormous 3,000: 1 (80,000,000: 1 dynamic). It's great for gaming because it has a 144Hz refresh rate, FreeSync and G-SYNC compatibility, and low input lag, but there's visible black smearing. Fortunately, these games aren’t overly intensive, meaning we were able to push well over the required 100 frames per second to get the most out of this panel.

Thanks to its incredibly low 1ms response time, FreeSync and 100 Hz refresh rate it is also suited for fast-paced games. Contrast is also lower at 2200:1, but its less of a problem compared to the backlight’s limitations which can tend to make the screen look dim. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. Additionally, its 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time and FreeSync provide an extremely smooth gameplay. Take note that this aspect varies between every unit due to manufacturing tolerances, so being able to exchange yours if it has issues is a must.You have a number of different color temps to choose from, alongside more comprehensive game modes that allow you to alter input lag, adaptive sync, overdrive, and shadow control – to name but a few. Even more frustrating is that, once you’ve found your way into the on-screen display, it’s still a pain to actually navigate the various menus that it offers. We love this model since it makes ultrawide gaming with extended refresh rates reachable for limited budgets, but we think most will go for the X version since its also quite affordable. The large screen provides an immersive viewing experience, and the 21:9 aspect ratio is good for watching movies. Enjoy your games on this large 34″ curved monitor to make them look even more detailed and captivating.
